ANST - Stefan's files for January

[Mark.S Harris]

A Blending of the Past and Present       

Over the past seven years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of 
useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles submitted 
to me by their authors. In order to make this information available to others, 
I have placed this information in a series of files I call Stefan’s Florilegium.

Florilegium - (literally, "a gathering of flowers").  In medieval times, 
Florilegia were collections of choice tidbits (from Ovid, Aristotle, various 
popes, church scholars, etc.) arranged topically. Typically, a florilegium is 
huge, encyclopedic, and contains only choice selections from particular works.

Anyone interested in these files is encouraged to request a copy of my complete
filelist by email. I can send this filelist or any of these files by email or
by copying them to a computer diskette if you don’t have WWW access.

Those of you who have World-Wide-Web (WWW) access can get these files at:

I am always looking for new articles that will be of interest to SCA folks. 
Any authors of such articles should contact me by email. The copyright stays 
with the author and I will withdraw or update an article at any time upon 
request by the author.
